Re: [Flashcoders] Buggy Tween
No problem. :) My example was just an external AS file, not a class.

Could it be you have var tween_handler:Tween inside of a function? If it's a
class variable it won't get garbage collected, if it within a function it's
eligible for garbage collection when the function is complete.
YES:
class myClass {
var tween_handler:Tween;
function myFunction() {
tween_handler = new Tween(mc,"alpha",Strong.easeInOut,1,0,.5,true);
}
}
NO:
class myClass {

var tween_handler:Tween;
tween_handler = new Tween(mc,"alpha",Strong.easeInOut,1,0,.5,true);

Howdy,

I was bit very hard by that one in a kiosk touch screen that needed to have
certain things happen after the tween was finished. So when garbage
collection stopped the tween, things went very messed up and/or locked up.
:)
Here is how I fixed that:
var tween_handler:Tween;
tween_handler = new Tween(mc,"alpha",Strong.easeInOut,1,0,.5,true);
tween_handler .addEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, doYourFunction;
function doYourFunction (evt:TweenEvent):void
{
tween_handler .removeEventListener (TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,
doYourFunction);
// do your stuff here
}
Then you should be fine,

Re: [Flashcoders] Buggy Tween
First thing are you tweening the swf you just loaded? If so, make sure its loaded before you start the tween. Second the // do your stuff - is what ever you want to happen next. In my example I was moving a one menu off the stage (left) and another one into view (from the right). I didn't want the new menu buttons active until the tween was done. So I move both menus and when the MOTION_FINISHED fired, I then made the buttons active (that was my do your stuff). What ever you want to happen after the tween is complete is what you would put in that place.
